GAME 1: DAL (0-1) @ PHX (1-0) | 102-106 loss
Just a comment about Luka 3 point shooting. He has to shoot. He even has to take tough shots. If not, his offense becomes totally onedimensional and predictable. He becomes Ben Simmons. Ability to hit those three pointers at a decent percentage will be what either makes him an MVP or "just" a top ten player.

Regarding the ability to drive past people. If you remember playoffs, Luka had actually biggest problems against Zubac. Bigger players leave him a bit of space and are strong enough not to be bullied. If they play smart defense and don't bite on his fakes, I can argue they will always create more problems for him, if he is not able to punish them with a three pointer. Luka didn't blow by Kahwi or George in the playoffs, he just knows how to perfectly use his body and is exceptionally strong, which creates him an advantage at the rim. Something it is much more difficult to do against a taller and stronger player.
